Can anyone see the image clearly enough to get the numbers from the apperception and satisfaction meters?

Values are approximate. Plus for the bottom scales of the meters, the scale doesn't make sense - goes from 0 to 30, 40, 50, etc.

APPERCEPTION
Top: 0.8125
Bottom: 18.75

SATISFACTION
Top: 2.19375
Bottom: 36.875

There are 7 lines between each big tick mark, so I divide the difference between two big marks (which is 1.3) by 8, and then multiply by how many tick marks the needle is in (so for example, Apperception is on the 5th mark in, so 1.3 divided by 8 multiplied by 5). 0.8125.

I made this for myself, maybe it will help, may I add that it seems also to show 2013 and 2015 (leadinjg to today AND 2022) 2013 africa is down, 2015 Pakistan and india are down.
What's bugging me are the 8 gradiants instead of 10

Wow this is cool. As someone who really got into the Year Zero world, I'm kind of in shock he's leading us back there. Really cool. The presence was man made, and here are the controls. And that is totally the new physical component on the side, right?

Ha, great minds think alike!
I made this for myself too - I tried to make equal divisions for each year, but what kinda sucks is that the spacing between the big marks (00, 05, 10, etc) are not constant. Some divisions are longer than the others.

The reason the distances are different is because these marking are on a round dial. The perspective is why there's a difference. It's noticeable on how the 25 looks so curved.
What's interesting here is the choice of scale. It's in base 4 instead of base 10. 0.8 cycles per year or rather, 1.25 years per cycle.
Scale this up to 5 years per 4 cycles, 10 years per 8 cycles or 20 years per 16 cycles.
